The product of this gene belongs to the integrin betachain family of proteins. Integrins are integral cell-surfaceproteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This geneencodes the integrin beta chain beta 2. A given chain may combinewith multiple partners resulting in different integrins. Forexample, beta 2 combines with the alpha L chain to form theintegrin LFA-1, and combines with the alpha M chain to form theintegrin Mac-1. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesionas well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Defects in this geneare the cause of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD1). Twotranscript variants encoding the same protein have been identifiedfor this gene.

Function
Integrin alpha-L/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. Integrins alpha-M/beta-2 and alpha-X/beta-2 are receptors for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component and for fibrinogen. Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen alpha-chain. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is also a receptor for factor X. Integrin alpha- D/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM3 and VCAM1. Triggers neutrophil transmigration during lung injury through PTK2B/PYK2-mediated activation.
